Gambian President to kill homosexuals

It is rare day when my malformed verbiage graces the front page here at Bilerico, but this article is horrifying. The article is actually titled "President plans to kill off every single homosexual" and my bent sense of humor thought he was encouraging gay marriage. My snark-o-matic died when I read the article.

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh says he will "cut off the head" of any homosexual caught in his country.

So while it is sunny in California today, darkness covers Gambia.

Addressing supporters at the end of his meet the farmers tour here Sunday, Jammeh also ordered any hotel or motel housing homosexuals to close down, adding that owners of such facilities would also be in trouble.

He said the Gambia was a country of believers, indicating that no sinful and immoral act as homosexual would be tolerated in the country.

I'm going to vote yes, FF. But with heads being chopped off all around, would anyone notice right away? I mean, if you're slick enough... LOL

I read in another article that Gambia is a Muslim country. The newspapers there have been agitating against the gay community for a few weeks now - obviously culminating in the President's announcement.

I credit Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International for getting involved with these events. I don't know if they're involved with this one yet, but they usually do, and probably will. This is why we need to support those organizations, when possible.

Hmmm, let's see. I have overwhelming problems I cannot solve, need to find a scapegoat, not enough White people to deamonize left in the country as we have scared them all off.

Who can I choose to purge to rally support around me?

Sounds familiar. Echt Bein Eine Fuhrer!

I have sent an email letter to Gambian tourism to express my outrage and the certainty that we will do all we can to dry up their tourism. They only have one and a half million people 85% Muslem and 15% tribal religions and Christianity. They have the courage to try and advertise themselves as part of "Roots."

Monica, we're doing all we can to try to assasina- *ahem*, create a regieme change in as many places as possible. We did it in Afghanistan, we did it in Iraq, but our Leader has only one year left in office to accomplish all of this.

Besides, the policies of President Jammeh are closely allied with those of our leadership. He is an ally in the "War Against Homosexuality Except For Those Really Hot College Lipstick Lesbians In Those Movies I Never, Ever Watch."

And MissVicki, It's unfortunately not easy to band together in many parts of Africa to remove a despot. They control the food, money, guns and army. We can't even manage to do it here with our international Terrorist-In-Chief, and we can get 4 bags of rice per visit at Costco. The continuous Genocides are supported by the governments of those countries, so without similar support, they're just bringing sticks to a gun fight.

Send a comment to the head of "The Gambia" tourism and cross reference it to all African American leaders you can find. Send it to all European Travel agents that have any interests in Gay Travel. Send it to the EU.

Gambia is not Zimbabwae It only has one and a half million people in the smallest country in Africa in square miles. the prospect of losing the tourist dollars from Europe alone will change their minds and you are internet savvy in ways this fifty-five year old is not to make it happen. I have faith in you. Make it happen.

They also have all sorts of critters to see on Safari. Critters like the Klipspringer, Chacma Baboons (they look like Jerry Lewis), Elands, Vervet Monkeys, and - As God As My Witness - a creature called... wait for it...
